A tour of Japan's Warring States Period
Chapter 620 26. A lucky plan to seize the city in one day
As expected, all counties and villages were in an uproar when Jia Fei's sword hunting order was given. The wooden orders erected on the streets of Kai were passed down from town to town and village to village along with the post roads built under the guidance of Takeda Shingen.
But it is a pity that those who had the courage to resist have just been killed in Suwanguchi Sasao, and the rest are old, weak, women, children and those who have no courage. Naturally, other than making an uproar, they did nothing.
Under the shock of the Shanjun's Xuanhe army, not even a single thief showed up. One village after another, one county after another, the sword hunt was completed one by one. Of course, this is a voluntary handover, and the County Secretary and the Prosecutor's Office will soon go to the countryside to conduct a second round of actual inspection.
We must ensure that every resident of Kai becomes a good citizen with bare hands!
There must have been some overkill in the implementation process, but none of the Yamauchi ministers would object. Yamauchi is now the conqueror, and will show the mercy of the ruler after all the kingdoms of Kai are digested into his own people.
All the generals have been in Kofu for several days. Except for Konishiharazaemon who once again led three thousand people to Hachioji to help defend, everyone else was supervising the execution of the sword hunt.
"One more thing. The family of Suwa Okami and the family of Fuji Sengen Taisha Shrine have re-presented their oaths to His Highness. Your Highness should help them report to the public and the imperial court to confirm the inheritance of the family."
One of the four Suwa brothers of the Suwa family has died, and there are two more. They cannot be allowed to unify the divine family and the secular family, otherwise it will be too disgusting for the spokesperson of Suwa Daimyojin to rebel in the human world. Therefore, according to Xiao Pingtai's suggestion, the two brothers "voluntarily" separated. The Suwa family, which Suwa Norimitsu had finally reunited, was divided again.
Fuji Sengen Taisha Shrine is entrusted to Mount Fuji, Japan’s sacred mountain and an important deity. As the family of gods enshrining Konohana's Sakuyabi Komatsu (Asama the Great God), it also has a very important position in Japan, and now it has also submitted an oath.
"It's the inheritance of the God family. It seems that the Aso Grand Palace Secretary has just inherited it by the imperial court." Isshiki nods his head.
Although the one in the forbidden area of Luoyang no longer has any rights, he still has some status in religion. At the same time, these priests are also considered as the lords of the shogunate. They belong to the public and have a special status.
"I know, let's let Uncle Tanzheng write it!"
"Everyone, as soon as the matter of Kai is over, we should move the Eighth Prince's formation as soon as possible to coordinate the direction of Ueno." Koheita listened to the instructions, nodded, and continued.
"How many days has Zaemon been gone?"
"It's already the sixth day!" Murakami Yoshimitsu calculated.
"Has any news come back?"
"Everyone knows the news only from three days ago."
The Fujita clan came with 10,000 people and blocked the Koshu Gate Hachioji. They had no intention of attacking the city or retreating. Conveniently, a formation house was also built at Koanji Temple in the northeast of Hachioji. Now it has begun to take shape and can be regarded as a city.
At the beginning, the Yamauchi Army's thousand peasant soldiers sent by Koheita entered the city smoothly without being blocked by the Fujita clan. But when Konishiharazaemon led 3,000 people to rescue, he was blocked by Fujita Clan.
However, the two armies only engaged in a not-so-intense battle, and Konishiharazaemon still led the reinforcements into Hachioji Castle. And sent back the eighth prince's instant message.
In the next three days, no envoys came back to deliver news. There are now 5,000 people in the city and 10,000 people outside the city. There is no possibility of losing the city. The food in the city can also be carried. Kofu's Yamauchi team arrived in an instant, and there was no crisis.
…………
Hosokawa Zaimei, who was already very good at wave fighting, has been very proud of herself these days. She parted ways with the Uesugi army and Nagano army at Uesugashi in Umebashi. The Yamauchi army went to Furukawa, while the remaining people went to Hirai to confront Hojo.
Echigo was in chaos, but it was not so chaotic that no one could be saved.
Koyumi Yorijun, who was having a casual meal in Echigofu Naka Castle, was very sentimental. Although Uesugi Kenmasa was wealthy, he did not treat him badly. There was food and drink, and young maids waiting on them. But he had to rely on others, especially since he was the son of Xiaogong Gongfang and relied on the former Kanto governor for his livelihood.
It is equivalent to the original chairman going to the former manager's house of a subsidiary company to have a casual meal. These days, face is an extremely important thing, and too many people value it.
Little Gong Yorijun thought day and night that Uesugi Kenshin could help him get back to Little Gong Castle, so that he could continue to claim territory in Little Gong City and become the king of Little Gong City, happily becoming the Little Gong General. As a result, Kenshin Uesugi didn't wait, but several knights from the Yamauchi family came.
We, Yamauchi, have collectively decided that you will be the next General of Kanto!
How come I, a little Yumikata who lived in Echigo Kingdom, became the Kanto General?
Without saying a word, Oyumi Yorijun asked Uesugi Kenmasa to report the news to Uesugi Kenshin in Etchu, and then he and his only four or five retainers rushed to Ueno Ueno Bridge.
Of course, Hosokawa Saime was not waiting for this person at Mangqiao. The military situation was so fierce that there was no room for waste!
At Masayuki Sanada's suggestion, Hosokawa Saime deliberately avoided the road north of Ninja Castle on the southern route and took the northern route to Shimosano Clan Karasawayama Castle. With the help of the Ashikaga Nagao clan, he received a warm welcome from the guides and allied troops.
Everyone has heard that you can go to the center of Shimonshu, the richest area of Furukawa in Soshu, to do (rob) and fight (robber). It was really a gathering of heroes from all directions and heroes from all directions.
After passing Karasawa Mountain Castle and regrouping at Fujioka Castle, the army turned out to be 14,000 people. Even Minagawa Hiroshi, who was leaving the field, ran over to lead the army.
Divine soldiers descend from heaven!
When Ashikaga Yoshiji in Furukawa Castle heard that tens of thousands of troops were coming from all directions, it was too late. There was no chance to even call on the nearby farmers to enter the city and defend, so they could only close the city gates and make a final resistance.
Naturally, they also desperately sent envoys to ask for help from the Hojo clan Nao and the Oishi clan who were attacking Ueno at the foot of Hirai Castle.
"For the sake of my wife being your aunt, come and give me a hand!"
With the help of Masayuki Sanada, Hosokawa Saime walked around the Furukawa Imperial Palace and learned that the flat castle of the Furukawa Imperial Palace actually diverted the water from the upper reaches of the Tama River to form a Konocha-numa (Odatenuma) on the flat land. Wrap up the castle, leaving only Oteguchi connected to the Kamakura Ancient Road in one direction for direct attack.
The city defense is indeed extremely strong and complete, and is easily difficult to conquer!
But it is a pity that Furukawa City does not have enough troops, so they all retreated into the city. All the peripheral strongholds, including Minato in Hongchao Marsh, also gave up!
At Masayuki Sanada's suggestion, Hosokawa Marime opened the water gate, and the water in Konochasuuma rolled out along the Tama River, turning the pond into mud.
Then they drove people from the wild country to cut weeds and branches everywhere and filled in countless roads. The people in the city thought that the Yamauchi Army was going to take advantage of the huge strength of 14,000 men and attack from all sides.
But the Yamauchi army didn’t!
Sanada Masayuki personally led a hundred elite soldiers selected from the Sanada people to lurk under the main building of Furukawa Imperial Palace Honmaru at night, and at dawn threw fire arrows and oil cans in the direction of the Honmaru.
The honmaru was filled with the wives and children of the generals of Furukawa City. They were all ignorant women and children. When they saw the fire arrow coming, they couldn't help but panic for a moment and started shouting.
And their men are holding on to the city gate of Dashoukou and the broken city walls everywhere. After hearing the cries in Honmaru and the slogans of the mountain troops outside the city that Honmaru was lost, those who surrender will avoid death.
The whole army collapsed!
Furukawa Castle fell in just one day due to Sanada Masayuki's ingenious plan!
(It's a pity that the map of Furukawa City cannot be posted here at the starting point, otherwise you can see it more intuitively. The update of station B does have a map.)
